ORDER ADOPTING AND AFFIRMING NOVEMBER 26, 2013
RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. (Doc. # 4.) On November 26, 2013, Judge Mix issued a Recommendation, advising the Court to grant in part the State Defendants' Motions [#44; 51] and to administratively close this case subject to reopening for good cause after resolution of the underlying state court proceedings. (Doc. # 67.) The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Magistrate Judge's Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. (Id. at 11.) Despite this advisement, no objections to Magistrate Judge Mix's Recommendation have been filed by either party. "In the absence of timely objection, the district court may review a magistrate's report under any standard it deems appropriate." Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) (observing that "[i]t does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings")). Having reviewed the Recommendation, the Court discerns no clear error on the face of the record and finds that Judge Mix's reasoning is sound.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix (Doc. # 67) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an order of this Court. Pursuant to the Recommendation, it is
FURTHER ORDERED that this action be ADMINSTRATIVELY CLOSED pending the resolution of state-court proceedings.
BY THE COURT:
